Henrikh Mkhitaryan & Alexis Sanchez: The Worst Swap Deal in Premier League History

It's taken 21 months, but the inevitable has finally come to fruition. Alexis Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitarayn, who were both involved in one of the most high-profile swap deals in Premier League history, have both been pushed out of the picture at their respective clubs.

Sanchez, who made the move to Manchester United at the start of 2018 after four years of carrying Arsenal on his shoulders, has joined Inter on loan while Mkhitaryan, who went the other way, has made the move over to Roma on a temporary basis.

After making a combined total of 104 appearances - registering just 14 goals between them - it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the original deal which saw them trade places is one of the least successful in recent Premier League history and is one which both clubs will be keen to forget about as quickly as possible.
